Talk about not going down without a fight
 My buddy found a dead smallie along the Passaic last year with a sunfish have its size stuck in its throat.

Re: Some Eyes and dead Hybrid

Damn...it happens. Sunfish have evolved into a shape that makes swallowing them difficult. They have a high, laterally-compressed shape and painfully sharp fin rays. A sunny has to be really small to get swallowed. That's one of the reasons soft-rayed fishes like shiners and chub make better forage fish than sunfish or perch. .

Re: Some Eyes and dead Hybrid
good job, glad to see u finally got sum solid eyes up there! the bigger one is a rly quality fish, looks great!
Sunfish are the death of many gamefish, Ive seen a few dead floaters with sunnys lodged in the gullet, those damn spikes are like barbs. The worst one is a 9-10lb walleye on LH, was a monster, he too choked on a 10" sunny lodged in his mouth. I know alot of bodies of water have a huge population of herring/baitfish, but when u get big u gotta eat big, it would take a dozen herring to equal the meal of a big sunny, they dont wanna bother with the chase of small stuff over and over when they can inhale a single meal.

Nice 'Eyes man! Nuts about the Hybrid, but nice to see there are still some in Pines. How long would you say it was?
